We need to pay attention to a new form of terrorism that has popped up in the Middle East. It is "arson terrorism", and it showed up in Israel and the West Bank. It has been quite dry in that region and so the landscape is subject to fires. There has been a rash of arson fires all across Israel and in the West Bank too. As of now, eleven Palestinians have been arrested for setting these blazes. The hope of the arsonists has been to burn down Israeli cities or the Israeli settlements in the West Bank region.
Arson terrorism is a crazy strategy, but it is something that one could expect from the terrorists. Setting a wild fire is unleashing a dangerous force that is very difficult to control. A fire could easily spread towards an Israeli settlement, but it just as easily could turn towards a local Palestinian village. The fires put everyone at risk.
Terrorism never really makes sense, so this is no different. Still, it seems bizarre to me that the terrorists threaten the lives of those whose interest that claim to represent.
